Rsync and path

After changing a setting, you have to save the changes to keep it next time you use RsyncUI.

Version rsync

It is recommended to install the latest version of rsync. RsyncUI provides direct path support for Homebrew on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. RsyncUI will determine the type of Mac you are using. The default path for Homebrew is:

• Intel-based Mac: /usr/local/bin
• Apple Silicon: /opt/homebrew/bin

Path rsync

The snapshot and syncremote features require the latest rsync. If an updated or new rsync is not installed by Homebrew, set the path manually.

• If Rsync v3.x is enabled, set the optional path if not installed by Homebrew.
• Any version of rsync will work, but only the default macOS versions and the latest rsync release have been tested
  • testing and verification ensure accurate parsing of rsync output

Path for restore

• Preset temporary path for restoring single files and directory
• Preset temporary path for a full restore
